Description

Nowadays we find that educational practices are still based on a "banking" vision of knowledge that maintains a stereotyped and static structure. In response, our teaching practice is based on the pedagogy of contact to account for the relationship between pedagogy and performance, focusing on corporeality as a means of knowledge. From an interdisciplinary approach, this study explores new drawing possibilities for pre-service teachers. The dynamic shows the expressive possibilities of the body through the different senses using clay and poetry. Four moments that initiate a perceptive stimulus through tactility to continue with listening through poetic rhythms. new gestures that enhance the involvement of bodies and creative abilities in the teaching-learning process. The results obtained show us the possibilities of the body for aesthetic creation and the need to provoke new educational strategies that transform the classroom space.
